Welcome to the Cyber Lounge of Madame Turquo!se

High Priestess of the Cs. Culture | Color | Curvy Style | Creativity | Conjure

Oooo Babay! Thanks for stopping by. 

La Vie ARTfroheme is more than just a passion project—it’s a living, breathing curation of life, love, and culture. I’ve lovingly coined it as “An African-Centered, Creative, Curvy, Colorful, and SoulFULL Lifestyle Curation.” This space is a celebration of Blackness in all its glory, from the people, places, and traditions that shape our experiences, to the magic that lies within our food, fashion, self-care rituals, chakras, crystals, and so much more.

What does it all mean? It means stepping into a world where we embrace our full selves—body, mind, and spirit. It means living boldly, creatively, and with intention. Whether we’re diving into the depths of cultural expression, finding balance with ancient healing practices, or simply reveling in the joy of everyday moments, La Vie ARTfroheme is here to inspire and uplift.

I invite you to join me on this ever-evolving journey of discovery, joy, and growth. Come back often for new insights, vibrant conversations, and all the soulful vibes you didn’t know you needed.

And of course, I am your hostess with the mostess—“Madame Turquo!se.” Here to guide you through this beautiful dance of life, where every step is filled with color, culture, and creativity. Let’s enjoy this journey together!

THE MONTHLY METAPHYSICS

- November 2024 -

Numerical Vibration

Theme: Completion and Renewal

Focus: The number 9 signifies endings and beginnings, making November ideal for letting go of what no longer serves you and preparing to plant new seeds. Reflect on what’s ready to be released to clear space for new opportunities.

Affirmation: “I release what no longer serves me and welcome new beginnings with gratitude and grace. I am ready to transform and embrace my highest path.”

Focal Chakra

Theme: Grounding and Security

Focus: The Root Chakra helps us feel secure and stable. November is an opportunity to connect to this grounding energy through earth-based practices. Include rituals like walking barefoot, eating root vegetables, and meditating on feelings of security.

Crystal - Smoky Quartz

Theme: Release and Protection

Focus: Smoky Quartz can aid in releasing negative energy while grounding and protecting. Use it in meditation to clear out the mental and emotional “clutter” as you prepare for a new cycle.

Color - Passionate Crimson

Theme:Passionate Transformation

Focus: A rich, deep red connects with the Root Chakra and symbolizes grounded transformation. It’s a color that encourages bravery, grounding, and warmth in the darker, colder days. Consider bringing deep red accents into your wardrobe or environment to embody this energy.
